Michael really couldn't sleep, he went to get a 淋浴 and he changed his clothes. 由 5:00 a.m. he was walking to the park. He knew Ashley wasn't going to be there cause he took her 首页 last night and she was fast asleep. He then thought about his brother Jermaine. "How dare Jermaine fall for my girl like that" Michael 说 to himself. He had been 迷失 in his thoughts for over an 小时 until he decided to go back home.

Meanwhile, Ashley had just awaken at 7:00 a.m. in the morning. She knew it was going to be a sad 日 because today was her father's funeral. Before heading downstairs, she turned on the TV in her room and watched the news on Michael's tour. "We are here today in the studio where Michael Jackson would've performed his concert" the anchorwoman said. "Would have?" Ashley 说 puzzled. "We have news that Michael Jackson has canceled his 音乐会 for a very important appointment at about 10:00 a.m." the anchorwoman reported. "10:00 a.m. is the time of my Dad's burial. Guess he really can't come" Ashley 说 with disappointment. Just then, Ashley's mother came rushing in Ashley's room. "Oh you're awake dear" Ashley's mother said. "Yes I am mom" Ashley replied. "Go downstairs and eat your breakfast. Then go take a bath and... just go get ready" Ashley's mother said. "Yes mom" Ashley replied. Ashley went downstairs and ate some breakfast. Then her mother gave her a news that almost got Ashley choking on her food. "Oh 由 the way sweetie, your friend Michael called. He 说 he's gong to be at the funeral today" Ashley's mother said. "He's what now?!" Ashley 说 shocked. So that's why he cancelled his concert. So he can come to the funeral. Oh my God the 粉丝 are going to kill me. "Mom is the number of Michael's phone there?" Ashley 说 nervously. "Yes" Ashley's mother replied. Ashley ran to the phone and dialed the number. At the first ring, the phone was answered. And it was Michael. "Hello?" Michael asked. "Michael, why?" Ashley said. "Why what?" Michael replied confused. "Why would 你 取消 your 音乐会 for my dad's funeral?" Ashley said. "Because... because" Michael 说 unable to answer. "Because what?" Ashley asked. "Listen can I talk to 你 privately? I know your mom's there in the kitchen. I'll just call 你 in your phone in your room" Michael said. "Sure" Ashley said. Ashley ran to her room and found her phone ringing. "Okay Michael, I'm alone now speak" Ashley 说 unable to control her patience anymore. "Because... because" Michael 说 once again unable to say the words. "Because what Michael" Ashley said. Then suddenly, Michael couldn't control his feelings any longer. He had to tell her. Otherwise Jermaine will snatch her away from him. "Because I 爱情 你 Ashley" Michael 说 finally relieved. "You really mean that Michael?" Ashley 说 with tears rolling down her cheeks. "Yes sweetheart. I don't say things that I don't mean. I 爱情 you, I care for you, You're the most important thing in my whole life" Michael 说 passionately. "Oh Michael I 爱情 你 too" Ashley replied with her 心 pounding heavily. "Want me to pick 你 up?" Michael asked. "Sure" Ashley replied as she hung up the phone and got ready.
